Tottenham: Guglielmo Vicario to have hernia surgery with Antonin Kinsky set to start against Nottingham Forest

Antonin Kinsky is set to return at Tottenham‘s goalkeeper once first-choice Guglielmo Vicario has hernia surgery following the Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Spurs interim boss Igor Tudor controversially replaced Kinsky with Vicario in the 17th minute of their Champions League last-16 tie at Atletico Madrid on 10 March – which they lost 5-2 – after he conceded three goals.

The 23-year-old was consoled by several team-mates, including Vicario, as he made his way off the field.

Vicario has been dealing with the hernia problem for several matches but remains in contention to start in the crucial game at home against Forest.

The other option for Tudor is third-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin, 27, who came through the club’s youth system and has made three senior appearances.

Tottenham said Italy international Vicario will undergo “a minor procedure” next week and hope to have him fit again by April.

The club said the operation had been “timed” for the international break in order to “have as minimal impact as possible”.

“Guglielmo will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately, and it is hoped that he could return to action within the next month,” added a statement from Spurs.

Kinsky and Austin have both been on the Tottenham bench for their past two games – a 1-1 draw at Liverpool in the Premier League and a 3-2 win over Atletico in the second leg of their Champions League tie.
